The guiding principle behind everything we make at Volvo, therefore, is – and must remain – safety.” Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson, the founders of Volvo. PREVIOUS PAGE INDEX EXIT PRINT DISPLAY NEXT PAGE 8 THE AWD SYSTEM. Drive is continuously distributed between the front and rear wheels by the electronically controlled all-wheel drive-system (AWD). The front wheels normally get 95% of all driving force. As the situation dictates, however, up to 70% of this force is redirected at lightning speed to the rear wheels. The system responds extremely quickly, making it possible to balance understeering and oversteering tendencies with exceptional precision. For example, during rapid acceleration or fast cornering, drive is redistributed seamlessly between the THE BRAKES.
